Billy Timmins (Wicklow, Independent) | Oireachtas source

The EirGrid Bill is No. 68 in section C. The Tánaiste stated that the Bill would be published next year. This is a very contentious issue and, in fairness, the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources has produced a briefing document on energy infrastructure. Could the Government put aside some time to debate this issue in advance of the legislation because it is a very contentious issue? It would be helpful if we could have a debate on it in the Dáil.
